Healing on the inside!
Jun 16, 2009
4 Weeks out. Thursday, June 18 will make my 1 month anniversary. Driving and walking quicker but still can't push a shopping cart full of food. Food for my kid! Not me! I go to Walmart and put tons of stuff in a shopping cart and realize that none of it is for me! Good quality soups, cereals, breads, meats, snacks; and I am just looking for a jar of gravy to put a teaspoon on my 1/8 cup of mashed potatoes so I can have the smell, taste, and feel, of the stew my sister cooked for my kid the other day because I couldn't eat that. My stiches, muscle, and cramping shifts, comes goes. It's to my back, to my left, to my right. I thought I would be back to "normal" after 3 weeks but I am not. Far from it. My healing is VERY slow. Yes! I have lost close to 30 pounds as it is written. I think I will loose alot in the second month as well. Not 30 but more than 10. I am afraid that my upper arms will be a flop of jelly when this is all over. And, my inner thighs will be floppy as well. I need a thigh master! It's ironic how if we were all on weight watchers and lost just 15 pounds but would be in the gym! As it is, we loose a quick majority of our weight when we are not allowed to go to the gym. Wonder why so much of our skin will sag. Some of that sagging could be avoided if we were allowed to pump some iron! I sit in a chair and pump my arms using 2 pound weights. Don't know how much good it is doing but at the loss of 30 pounds, I need to start doing something. Don't mind cooking for my kid. The smell of steak, veggies, and fries is good to me. As far as the swelling in my stomach is concerned. I hope that the fluid and stuff goes away or I am going to as the Doc to put a needle in me to draw it out!
